I want to add TouchID / FingerprintScanner support to an app that I'm developing with React-Native@0.54+ and all packages that I use I cannot link the dependencies to it via react-native link (or even without package-name...).

I'm running it via 'create-react-native-app' and using Expo Client.

Any thoughts / help?

i think you shoud detach expo.

working with Expo gives you lots of benefit... but deeper you want to achieve, Expo will make you struggle.

I suggest you to deatch Expo and work with libraries like

https://github.com/naoufal/react-native-touch-id or https://github.com/hieuvp/react-native-fingerprint-scanner

Its worth pointing out that Expo supports fingerprint scanning with their LocalAuthentication module. There's an example snack available in their documentation

You can use Expo's fingerprint reader library in ejected apps too. I explained it here https://stackoverflow.com/a/64929151/7477198

Or it is possible to use libraries like https://github.com/hieuvp/react-native-fingerprint-scanner#readme
